Schedule Metrics

Schedule Performance Index (SPI)

SPI = earned value / plan value

Schedule Variance (SV)

SV = earned value – plan value

Schedule Variance (time)

SV(t)= Earned schedule – Actual time

Schedule Performance Index (time)

SPI(t)= Earned schedule / Actual time

Revised Estimated Duration

= Original planned duration / SPI(t)

Also used for target dates EVM 1 and EVM2

Cost Metrics

Cost Performance Index

CPI = earned value / COWD

Cost Variance

CV = earned value – COWD

Independent Estimate at

Completion

IEAC1=BAC/CPI

IEAC2=[(BAC-EV to date)/CPI 3 months]+COWD

IEAC3 = COWD + ((BAC – EV (cum)) / (CPI * SPI(t)))

IEAC4= COWD + ((BAC – EV (cum)) / (0.8CPI + 0.2SPI(t))

To complete performance measures

TCPI= Work remaining / Budget Remaining

TCPI (BAC-EV) / (AFC – COWD)

TSPI = Work to complete with authority / planned remaining budget within authority

TSPI – (Authority – EV ) / ( Authority – PV )
